Why the study?
Does microwave catheter ablation produce adequate lesions and what are its proarrhythmic effects in canine ventricular myocardium?
Does microwave catheter ablation produce adequate lesions and what are its proarrhythmic effects in canine ventricular myocardium?
Microwave ablation creates depth-dependent lesions in ventricular myocardium with transient, duration-dependent proarrhythmic effects that resolve upon cessation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Microwave ablation parameters warrant optimization in preclinical models; leaves open translation to safe human ventricular catheter ablation.
